Is there now a problem with Vellux blankets having an unremovable chemical smell? Our old one never had that.

I did not have a problem with smell from the Westpoint blankets. However, they were very THIN. I have not received my Martex blanket. Hope that is not the case.

I am not sure. I ended up throwing the blanket away. It was stiff and not very comfortable. It wasn't what I expected.

I have had this fore about 2 years now and I cannot remember any chemical smell for it at all, not even when it was new. We have machine washed ours at times, if you want to try to get the smell out. Hope all works out.

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!

I don't think that it smells at all. I don't remember it being smelly when it was new either.

You know, that is really strange. Mine was fully expanded within the hour.I just cut open the plastic slowly and let it decompress. It was really quick. I'm afraid you may have a defective one. Also it has been pretty cold, that may have something to do with it. Yeah, ours had no scent at all ,I could'nt be happier. Let me know what happens, I was planning on purchasing another one. Good luck. Manuel

Mine has no smell whatsoever. Just received it last week. Maybe you should send it back!

Mine didn't have the smell, either. When it was brand-new, it had one of those "new" product smell a little but it went away fast.

I am sorry I won't be much help - my silk comforter did not have any odor! My guess would be that the plastic bag the comforter was packed in probably held in any odors (no telling how long that comforter had been sitting in a warehouse). My suggestion - spread it outside for a day and see if Mother Nature takes care of it for you!

I wish I could help you concerning the odor. I never opened the one I bought up. It was a replacement for someone in the family. I accidentally Machine WASHED hers and it Ruined it! Don't wash it, take it to the cleaners and ask them is my suggestion.

I have never noticed a smell in ours. We did wash it though. Perhaps that made the difference.

I was worried about that too because I have an extremely sensitive sense of smell and any kind of plastic smell would have driven me nuts. In short no, there is virtually no smell to mine when it arrived. The only smell I got from it was a little bit of a new cotton smell and that went away in minutes. The first night I had this my sheets hadn't shown up yet so I ended up sleeping directly on the mattress itself and I had no issues with smell. I have mine on a wood frame instead of a box spring because I like very firm beds, it does not seem to retain too much heat because I put off heat like a furnace when I sleep and I am not uncomfortable in it like I am in memory foam or similar beds.

Mine didn't have any odor either. So there's no problem. Bad odor are usually related with expired items.

The blanket was wrapped in plastic. When I opened the plastic, it smelled like a new sweater. The was no offsetting smell, like there sometimes was even with the clean Army blankets I've been issued.

I've had my mattress for several months, so my memory may be foggy....but I do not remember noticing a smell - certainly not one that lingered.

My bed did/does not smell so I can't be of any assistance. Suggest you contact manufacturer if possible.

That's funny. I've had it on my dining room table for months, and it never smelled. I did hang it in the sun for a few hours to get the wrinkles out, which didn't work. Maybe that's why mine doesn't smell. I also have a very sensitive nose.
